Strmchsr Family Vacation 2010 part 4

[Strmchsr]

Did you see Davy Jones in Epcot? We saw his first show before we left Epcot to drive back home to PA.

We almost stayed at ASM, too, but DH changed the ressie to CBR. Love the pics you took there. Now I'm thinking we have to give it a try!

I did see part of Davy's show. Didn't sit down, but stood up in front of the American Pavilion to check part of it out. It was a lot of fun.

I really liked ASM's theming. I'd say it's the best of the values. My only knock against it is that it is badly in need of a refurb. It just doesn't stack up to Pop and the other All-Stars. On the good side, because it hasn't been refurbed it still had old channel 96 (the classic Disney cartoon channel) which the other resorts have lost. I really enjoyed ASmovies, but I hope they'll refurb them to the quality of the other values soon.

Your pictures are awesome. I think I need some photography lessons.

Thanks!! I did an online photography class which helped me quite a bit with my pics. I noticed a dramatic improvement over last year's pics so I was happy to have these for our collection. Definitely well worth my time to learn how to take all those cool shots.

Of course, if I lived in your neck of the woods (Nova Scotia / PEI) I'd never get anything done. I'd always be out with my camera. LOVE that area up there. Hope the family and I can visit it again soon.

Great reports and pics, thanks for sharing! Seeing you pics of the resorts makes me sad that we are staying outside of the World this year.

Thanks for sharing. It sounds like you had a great trip in spite of the crowds. And your pix make me impatient to get there.

Not sure why you weren't able to see those. I set the privacy setting to "everyone" intentionally so that you should be able to see the pics even if you're not my "friend" or belong to FB. I also posted some of the shots (but not quite as many) to my Webshots album. You can see that here if you can't do FB.

I got to see your pictures! They were great thanks for sharing

Your trip reports were great! I really enjoyed reading them all! Your pictures are fantastic, you have a real talent! All of your water pix - WOW, just WOW! I particularly enjoyed all of your pix from Epcot, my personal fav park, you captured so many of the details, just captivating! You have a beautiful family & it looks like fun was had by all! I'm sure many happy WDW memories were made! My fav pic was of your wife & your little guy sharing the Mickey bar, oh my gosh, Cole - what a precious little face! Now I'm super anxious for our trip, we'll arrive in WDW in 20 days, and now I'm even more anxious!

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Shari! I really enjoyed making all of them. Yeah, Cole, is something else. He's a great subject to photograph. Always up to something. Hope you have a wonderful trip, too!

The pictures are beautiful! A few gave me goosebumps. The place looks great for the Flower and Garden Fest. And what a lucky Mom!! Thanks for sharing.

PS That's great we can link to FB!

I don't have a Facebook account and couldn't access your pics though I would have loved to have seen them.

Nice way to spend Mother's day!

Hey, Linda, check post #9. I linked to my webshots account as well. Not as many pics as on FB, but still a good number.

Chris, loved your report and photos! Thanks for sharing.

We were there from 5/8-5/16 and the weather was perfect. The crowds not too bad except for Sat., 5/15. I saw something I have never seen before in all of my many, many trips to WDW -- the Haunted Mansion's line was wrapped around so many times they had to take it down around the waterfront! Heard many Disney veterans remark that they had never see it before as well.

Glad you had a great trip and what a great Mother's Day gift. We celebrated by having dinner at LTT as we all enjoy it there.

Thanks again for sharing!
